SIL Translator’s Notes on John 6:55

6:55

For My flesh is real food, and My blood is real drink: Jesus indicated that he himself is the only true or real food that gives life. He gives life to those who trust him, now in this world and forever.

It is recommended that you translate these clauses literally. Here are other ways to translate them:

For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. (New Jerusalem Bible)
-or-
Because my body and my blood are the true food and drink.
